Hi,
I have found myself in alot of debt (not through credit cards or anything like that, just previous loans, unpaid bills, ccjs ect) and i have been trying to work out what to do, this morning i have had a call from a company telling me tht they are applying for an attachment of earnings which will take 60% of my wages and unless i pay in full there is nothing i can do about it. is there? i am cionsidering going bankrupt as i see no way out but i cannot afford to pay the money it will cost to do this. i have nothing left from my wages after paying rent and council tax ect.. can you help???

60%, are you sure depending on the amount you earn there is a set %, ranging I think from 3% to 17.5%,

will look for eaaxct figures and post

If you earn under £75 per week no deduction is made it the goes up to 3%, and up to a max of 17% if you earn over £505 per week.

Hope this helps,
